Just win some more gaems and no one will be making any more drama out of this and you won't have to live up to your name with these blog posts.

Fluff my man, you are a dota 2 player, no room for dramas. STick to your gut, you have put your money where your mouth is - so make good of it and revamp TL dota 2. I hope to see that spark you guys had when you beat LGD at TI3. Bring that fire son

This constant need to explain yourself comes off as so darn needy. Take a page from Envy and let your actions do the talking instead of your blog posts.


1) Fluff and Envy are two different people.

2) It's not like Fluff is only just talk. He's backing it up with the appropriate 'walk' as well, as detailed by steps and actions he's outlined in the post. We don't know if he will fail or succeed, but you can't deny he is also actively trying. So really, he has already taken the metaphorical page from Envy. We have to give things time to play out.

3) Like you've said yourself; there IS a need for him to explain himself. You can interpret Fluff's post as simply needy, or you can also understand that there is no doubt many of us who want clarification on certain matters affecting the team as a whole. This spotlight, for better or worse, shines on the entire team as much as it does on Fluff himself. To imply Fluff's post serves only himself would indicate tunnel vision about the whole situation.

Although on the surface this is an apology from Fluff, it is also a PR statement for his team and liquid as an organisation as well. Fluff's post is part explanation about himself and part the collective voice of his team clarifying their intent, future and direction together.

Actions are powerful, but that's not to discount the importance of 'talk'/explanations/clarifications. The two are not mutually exclusive. It is better that they go hand in hand as it minimises the scope of speculation and conjecture and really serves as a rallying force and voice for those who do support liquid.

In any case, I'm glad it's all sorted out. Fight on, Fluff! Fight on, Liquid!

This. This 1000%. All their losses and failures in the last couple of months have really demoralized and almost alienated their supporters it seemed (i.e., me). This might have been a mess at the beginning, and it might have hurt some people in the process although not deliberately, but nazgul's response and fluff manning up to it has at least shed light to the teams struggles, and it is very comforting to know that they are taking MASSIVE steps to curbing the problems. Good luck everyone, and yes, see you guys in TI4.

I think if you were female, the apt description of your personality would be "bunny boiler"

Regardless, good luck!

I guess one question that gnaws at me is "who's the team manager and where has he been?"

or is there no one really assigned to manage team dynamics and maintain morale?

I guess it's good that there is healing.


I think it is/used to be bumblebee. I used to see him post/tweet about dota stuff all the time, but not so much anymore. But a lot of being a manager is in the background, so who knows.

I still manage Liquid, but I've strayed from posting a whole lot :-)

I still find supporting Liquid hard after your last blogpost. I don't think you'll change, and I just see this blogpost as new false promises.

Best of luck. I hope you prove me wrong. And I think maybe you should consider not writing blogs wherein you describe what you intend to do - you're just making unrealistic goals for us and for yourself.

It would be unrealistic to expect the team to stop losing at least some important games. We will see what happens when the next tricky situation pops up. Good luck!

well the last blog showed your true personality so i dont take this blog that serious. but let me tell you one thing. from now on thank god everyday, thank for nazgul & co not kicking you out of this team because you would have deserved it. thank god every second you are not out of TL because TL is probably the last chance you will get to become somebody in Dota.
because imagine you were kicked? what would you do? who wants some not that skilled guy (compared to the big skillers in NA,EU and especially china) who is all about being the savior of his team leading them to glory with visions and epic leadership to stand there and smile in his shiny armor.

for me most of this blog is just damage control like people always do when they are closed to being kicked.and of course your typical 1000 promises and ideas that will revolutionize EVERYTHING. how about just the damage control apology and instead of the rest you just show actions? you know like real actions, making your team own and not your old habits. not things like "will do this, and that,sacrifces here there and bridges! communication,best version of team EVA.".

like i said thank god everyday and get your shit together.
best of luck for your team

Thanks, Fluff. Captain, oh my captain. You are great, and I am glad your mates were too, and responded in the correct manner, being mature and open. This bodes very well for TL.

Ok first off, I have not really read anything aside from what Nazgul said. You are waaay too wordy for my tastes XD

But, maybe, in the end, it will turn out to have been a good decision to post what you did before. What if the team as a whole would have been unable to get the motivation/boost required to achieve a TI4 victory from purely internal "decent" & "by the book" communications? Sometimes a child (a new team) needs a good kick in the arse to get going properly.

The way you guys are dealing with your previous outburst makes me think that this is exactly what needed to be done. Like some people say: sometimes you need to act now and ask for permission later.

There are more ways and potentionally better ways to phrase this, I will refrain from trying to find them all. I am sure people have said this before.
When you came along so righteous with a new national hate, so convincing is the ardor of war and of men, it's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend. The wars at home, the wars abroad, all soaked in blood and lies and fraud.
